The first day Ma’Kiya Congious wore her Black Lives Matter mask to work, no one seemed to bat an eye. In fact, several customers at the Whataburger location in Fort Worth complimented her on the face covering, which is also emblazoned with a fist.
But when the Black 19-year-old returned to work the following Monday, a White customer threatened to call the hamburger chain’s corporate office over the mask, prompting a chain of events that led Congious’s managers to fire her and call the police on their own employee.
As Whataburger insists it did nothing wrong, the former cashier filed a discrimination complaint Wednesday with Texas state officials, alleging she was let go specifically because of her race and the message on her mask.
“It’s not a political thing,” Congious said at a news conference Wednesday. “It’s just a statement that says ‘Black Lives Matter’ because we do matter.”

“If we allow any non-Whataburger slogans as part of our uniforms, we have to allow all slogans,” the company said in a statement to KDFW on Wednesday. “This could create tension and conflict among our employees and our customers. It is our job as a responsible brand to proactively keep our employees and customers safe."

I re-read. Sure enough. White.
Maybe the complaining customer was Karen White.
lol
Good. No MAGA masks, no BLM masks. Seems fair.
I always capitalize all races now. Avoids those pesky flare ups from the triggered snowflakes.

You didn’t capitalize ‘Snowflakes’.
I am so triggered right now. About to scream.
I wish they had Whataburger here, where I live.
The question for America is.....do black lives really matter? Are the lives of a handful of arrest resisting and cop endangering criminals worth the cost of the rioting, looting and pillaging that has traumatized many American cities?
The correct answer is NO
To be completely analytical, we must forcefully state that a minority of the black citizenry minority is not anti police, pro criminal and are very good Americans.
Sounds like some kind of flesh eating bacterium from Somalia.....
I called corporate Big Lots in Ohio when I went to my local store and a black employee was wearing BLM tee shirt on the job..................

I’m thinking how Big Lots would react if a White person wore a KKK shirt while working.
Same Difference.
GOOD if she had worn a MAGA mask she would have been fired for sure!!
“Ma’Kiya Congious”
I’m pretty sure that’s Klingon for “Poopy Head”.
Not me. I actually enjoy triggering snowflakes and fake-outraged virtue signalers. In fact, I might go so far as to type “bLACK” just for the reaction.
;^)
Yuck. . .but true
The person I talked to was very upset (sounded gay), and apologized and said it was against corporate policy to wear ANY KIND of political stuff at work, even a button.................I never saw that employee again................
Feral nitwits like this only inflame people against each other. She needs to be fired and shunned. Stop this disruptive, divisive political BS. Oh, yeah...what a freakin’ ghetto name.
And I’ll bet if an employee wore a MAGA mask he would have been beaten and fired immediately.
“My Kia is conscious?” I didn’t know their tech was that advanced!
glad she was fired as you do not bring your politics to work, and the same person wearing BLM would be the first to complain if it were Trump , or Blue Lives Matter
My personal view:
Making her unemployed and putting her back on welfare is not a win.
